My personal workaround is to disable document colors and fonts:
(setq shr-use-colors nil
shr-use-fonts nil)
This assumes that you have mm-text-html-renderer set to shr (which is
probably the case if you see colors).
For emails where this doesn't work well I use ". v" on the text/html
part to launch it in an external browser.
